Barry Ferguson has refused to rule out a return to Rangers as manager.
The Ibrox hero had worked as interim boss last season after Philippe Clement was dismissed from his role in the dugout.
Ferguson had been vocal in his desire to land the post on a permanent basis before Russell Martin was appointed by Rangers chiefs.
Now, with pressure building on Martin, Ferguson has been grilled on whether he would consider returning to the Ibrox hotseat if the opportunity arose.
Stopping short of confirming potential interest, Ferguson did admit he wouldn't want to return as interim manager again.
“You’ve put me on the spot here! You know what the club means to me," Ferguson said on the Go Radio Football Show.
“But at the end of the day, I am not just going in to take a job for somebody else then to come in and take it off you.
"But listen, Russell Martin is still the manager at this moment of time.”

Discussing managerial pressure, Martin said on Friday: "I think if you're a football manager now, your job's under threat wherever you work, all the time.
"Such is the world and such is the industry, it's brutal.
"So, genuinely, if we were doing brilliantly, I wouldn't listen to the outside noise. If we're doing not very well, I don't listen to it because I think you can get caught up in all of it. So, I would always treat it the same.
"If people are praising you and liking what you do from the outside, when people don't see it, it's really difficult.
"So, as long as I feel in here, the staff, the players, the supporting team around all of it, as long as I feel they're here, they're with us, we're together, which I really feel, then I'll be happy and I really trust that with a good process and good people, the outcome will follow."
